This makes me so sad. I get that she's trying to celebrate a special moment, but as a mother it makes any moment of mine complete when my son is there with me. He's why I try, why I even get up in the morning. I would be no one without him because he's changed me to be the woman I am now. I know that occasionally we mummas need a break but that child is a little boy (The same age as mine) and is freaking out over everything that's going on. He's overwhelmed and the people that keep trying to take him away from his mother are actually just making it worse and making it so he wants her more. If she'd sat up slightly, pulled him to her and cuddled him, rubbed his back, stroked his hair and told him that it would be ok and that it was a happy day, everything would have gone SO much better. He just wanted a cuddle. Stiffly smiling and saying "Smile babies! SMILE!" through her teeth isn't going to make things better.

That's really upset me now. I know I shouldn't judge another's parenting, especially since I don't even know her, but god... Be warm with your babies. The love you give them when they are young shapes their views on Love for the rest of their lives.

I feel for her! This is a huge moment for her, not as a mother but as a pretty bloody succesful artist and she deserved to have a few moments glory for herself.
